In light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases across Ontario, and outbreaks within Osgoode cohorts/events over the past week, Law Students for Safe Learning calls on Osgoode administration to provide remote access to ALL Winter 2022 exams.

The process for seeking disability accommodations at Osgoode can be confusing and onerous for students to navigate — so we’ve put together a guide.
Remember Osgoode’s deadline to submit an exam accommodation request is March 28!

As we approach exams, please consider signing our open letter for safe & equitable exams as well as providing a testimonial re: accommodations access so we better understand how to advocate and support students:

Support safe, equitable, accessible exams this semester at Osgoode! We're calling for:
✅ Allowing digital summaries
✅ Compassionate grading
✅ Lowering the threshold for remote exam accommodations
✅ Heightened safety measures

Student collective organizing WORKS!
Osgoode administration has clarified that moving forward this semester, profs will have discretion to provide synchronous remote access via Zoom to their classes.
Thank you everyone who helped push for an equitable and accessible semester.
We encourage students to contact their profs to make sure they are aware of this policy change. Encourage them to provide remote synchronous access so that students unable to come in person can still participate.

Thank you so much to all the students who came to our open forum tonight! We are super grateful to everyone who shared the challenges they've been facing, provided input on next steps for collective action, & held space to listen to others.
We will provide more updates soon! 💚

Our campaign was covered last week in @lawyersdailyca. The article included a quote from @OsgoodeNews Dean Mary Condon.
We provide some public clarity on Dean Condon’s statements as well as an update on our campaign since the first article was published.

Two members of our collective write about their experience living with chronic illness and the disproportionate safety risks of Osgoode's return to in-person learning.
Please take some time to read this important piece by @aliimrie & @AngelaDittrich!

Our campaign in @lawyersdailyca!
The article says @OsgoodeNews Dean Mary Condon is "keen to work with students" to address our concerns.
This is untrue. She has not been working with us and nothing the admin has done so far is responsive to our demands.
thelawyersdaily.ca/articles/…
Our demands for safe learning are rooted in disability justice.
As @miamingus writes, "We will not trade disabled deaths for abled life. We will not allow disabled people to be disposable or the necessary collateral for the status quo."

During our meeting w/ Associate Dean, we asked if profs could simply livestream in-person courses over Zoom to offer a remote synchronous option.
We are now hearing from 1Ls that faculty received an email last night from the deans—specifically instructing them NOT to livestream.
Our 2-pager for profs includes suggested do's and don'ts for facilitating accessible learning, and resources to help them learn more about disability justice and the impact of COVID-19 on disabled and caregiving students: bit.ly/faculty-2pager
Today is return to campus for students at @OsgoodeNews.
For anyone returning to campus, please document / make note of unsafe learning conditions and share them using #UnsafeAtOsgoode #UnsafeAtYork !!
